So I haven't blogged in a while... and I'm just gonna start by saying that the past few weeks have been rough. Not only for me, but for people that are close to me as well. I don't know what it is but a lot just seems to be falling apart, high hopes are being crushed, and hearts have been broken.
Something that really has been on my mind, (and I've talked about it before), is how important it is to be happy with ourselves. I don't want to sound like im preaching or something but there is no way that we can go through life's struggles without honestly and truly believing in ourselves and loving who we are. We are who we are because that is how He wanted us. There are harsh/crazy/life changing obstacles thrown at us that maybe we can't comprehend why they were, but are because He has more faith in us then we do in ourselves. Sometimes it's hard to find reasons to love yourself, but we are all strong enough to dig deep and find the light in our hearts to make it happen. God would never have created us to just fail and be upset with ourselves. Everything is a test. A test of how strong we are, and if we put our hearts to it we can pass every one thrown at us.
On a higher note... I am absolutely in LOVE. I'm in love with my life right now... yes there are definitely things I wish I could change but when I look at the BIG PICTURE I see how awesome it really is to be where I am/who I am today. I have the most amazing God who loves me for all my imperfections, I have an amazing FAMILY who supports my every move and loves me unconditionally, and I have friends who have been the most amazing friends a young and stupid woman could ask for. Yesterday I got my hair done and while sitting in the chair getting my foils put in there was a little girl about 7 and her mom sitting in the chair next to me. The little girl asked her mom what age she wished she could go back to and her moms reply was, "I think I'd like to go back to when I was about this gals age (pointing at me) I'd say she is about 20 and loving every moment she's living." I smiled because it kind of hit me weird... but it really got me to thinking... wow. This, right now, is the time of my life. This stranger opened my eyes to realizing that today, now, this year, me, my peers... is our time to make differences and really live the life we want to. We are young and have so much love to give... even if it's love that maybe is young and dumb, we have so so so much and sometimes we take for granted how much we could use it to impact the world.
I don't know about you guys... but I am here to make a difference. How? I have no idea. That's in God's hands. But what are we waiting for?
“If your head tells you one thing, and your heart tells you another, before you do anything, you should first decide whether you have a better head or a better heart."
"The opposite of fear is love. Be FEARLESS."
LOVE LOVE LOVE you guys, Kayci |
